wouldn't put it past him

"I wouldn't put it past him to steal from his own family."

I guess “put” has the meaning of “say” or “express.” Then can “put” be replaced with one of these word?

'wouldn't put it past someone' is used when the speaker thinks that the 'someone' being talked about is capable of doing something quite bad.
